XP: Clean, Separate, Cook, Chill- videos
I put this on the Cooking board, but apparently food safety issues aren't a hot topic. 
USDA and FDA are doing a joint campaign. Looks like a HUGE waste of money.
Here's Clean-- the other videos are in the right sidebar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr2ySNl85vg&feature=relmfu
"Separate" is the only one that (mockingly) is actually showing what we should do. The others seem to be "don'ts". I don't get it.
This blog has interesting points. My fav: "...the Four Steps are essentially useless if a consumer has food that arrives in the home kitchen already contaminated."

Stand up for something you believe in.
Yeaaaahhhh, I don't get it.
The pig was cute though!
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
But Americans don't want to equate pigs with pork. (As a part of a larger denial of where their food comes from.) Are we supposed to think she's trying to cook her pig in the sauna? I really just don't get them. I'm emarrased to work for USDA (though in nothing to do with food or dumb vidoes.)
